Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!Greetings from the Urban Affairs Coalition

On behalf of the Urban Affairs Coalition and our Board of Directors, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!

This year, the Urban Affairs Coalition celebrated its 46th year of working to unite government, business, community and individual initiatives. Our theme this year, “Breaking Barriers, Building Coalitions,” challenged us to continue to improve the conditions in our community and make a difference in the neighborhoods with the greatest needs.

Your support helps us drive change from the ground upthrough our 60+ programs and 15 projects, serving more than 150,000 people in our region annually. As we look forward to 2016, we pledge to continue to make Philadelphia a better place to live, work and play. We ask you to pledge your continued support of our work.

We know it takes more than good intentions to change the world. So consider making your year-end gift to the Coalition! You can click here to make an online donation or mail a check to Urban Affairs Coalition, 1207 Chestnut Street, Suite 700, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
